Angry Hippos Attack Crocodile

Custom Search

We regard crocodile as amazing predators and killing machines with their powerful crocodile bite, that no animal would want to cross their way. Well think again. A photographer in the Serengeti has captured some spectacular footage of several hippos attacking a nile crocodile. These amazing pictures show the moment a hasty nile crocodile gets trapped in a maze of some angry hippos and is then killed by them.

This is unique and rare battle between the 2 massive beasts, was caught on camera by a stunned wildlife photographer, Vaclav Silha. The 45-year-old Czech photographer set up his camera on a river bank in the Serengeti National Park, to take photos of a group of 50 hippos bathing in the river, little he know he was about to get the shock of his life.

A colossal fight broke out between the hippos and the sneaky crocodile that moved too close to a mother hippo with calves. The unlucky nile crocodile armoured body was no match for the angry hippos that can apply several tons of pressure in a single bite.

Hippos are one of the most aggressive creatures in Africa, blamed for many human deaths, even more than crocodiles and lions and other predators.
